As for the cost, TOUGH!!
In light of the tragedy in Cumbria, to show these episodes is unthinkable and in very poor taste. 
If the makers of East Enders can re film an episode to respect the families of victims, so can the makers of this show, no matter what the cost. |
And where does all this anguished breastbeating end? Should networks not show dramas and films which feature car crashes or air disasters in case it upsets car crash victims or air disaster survivors and their families? What about dramas about stabbings, rape, paedophilia etc etc: these tragic events unfortunately occur every day of the week, so someone out there is going to be upset/offended/angry etc etc. My parents died of cancer, so I get very weepy and upset when I see TV dramas or films that feature this disease in a story line, and I certainly wouldn't seek to stop them airing. I have a choice not to watch, and there's always the OFF button on the tv.
The Cumbria shootings were horrendous, but not airing a fictional drama is OTT PC censorship, and I resent not being given the option to exercise my personal choice of whether or not to watch.
